This is a great improvement in gameplay for characters such as the sor. However I updated my Diablo and i lost everything i had. And No not all my stuff was hacked, (maybe 1 or 2). I lost everything, on my body and in my stash. I strongly recommend not downloading this patch. Good thing i back up my chars.

The new patch is a big disgrace to the game. It makes the game unbearable to play. The new "balance" of characters actually just made things more worst for all characters besides the sorceress. If Blizzard wants to keep their hopes high for more players and sales for the expansion pack, they should remove the patch. In short, they patch has made players stop playing the game and made the game plain out horrible.

Whoa. This patch makes the game so hard! A level 37 pally with 1200 defense almost got killed by a skeleton boss in ACt1 hell by one hit. Nightmare hell is a killer. I feel sorry for the hardcore characters that died because of this. GL to all that play this game.

hey, i havent even been able to complain about this patch yet because the piece of s**t is saying the f*king play cd isnt in the drive...it is in there and it still doesnt work. can someone help me out with this problem?

allright this patch did some things like it's kinda cool when u gamble if your lvl one the rate of the money is really low like 200 if your lvl is 13 the rate of gamble go's up like 2000 so thats kinda cool and when u buy stuff it's more in there alot of items u could by not from before but what kinda sucks is that they fixed a bug from some mosters coming in town in act 2 i never sawed that happen omg it's soo dum i tryed using a patch from megagames site and it didn't work b/c d2 i think made it like u can't use a patch i think omg this is kinda ******* me off now grrr
